NOTES ABOUT PEOPLE.
HERBERT SPENCER.
BY NOBLE NJ. EBERHART.
editor 1.-THE Insect W orld.")

This celebrated philosopher was born
at Derby, in 1920, in which place his IA
Their was schoolmaster and the honorary
secretary OF the Derby Philosophical AS
sociation. Spencer inherited his love of
the sciences, and his remarkably acute
faculty OF observation, from his father.
who, it seems, paid particular attention
to the study of insects, and Spencer him
self, in his boyhood used to collect and
describe chronological specimens.
At the age of seventeen, having reject
ed the course at Cambridge which it had
been desired that he should pursue. he
became civil engineer at Derby. This
profession he gave up some eight years
later, as he had gradually drifted into lit
erary pursuits, having published articles
in various papers, notably the Civil En-.
gineers' and Architects Journal" and the
"Nonconformist." An article on the
Proper Sphere Of Government" pub
ilshed in the latter paper in 1912, was re-
published in pamphlet form the follow
ing year, it having attracted considerable
attention,
During the five years from 184S to 1853
he was employed on the Economist"
and during his connection with this news
paper, he developed many new ideas on
ethics and politics. It was during this
time that his first important work appear
ed, entitled, "Social States" This was
published in 1850.
Inc organizing principle of Spencer's
belief Is the truth which Harvey and
Wolff anticipated, but which received its
finishing touches of form and order from
Won Baer. This principle is, that Gail
organic development is a change from a
state OF homogeneity." This idea Spen-
Ger gradually perfected in series of ar
ticles which he prepared for the " Leader"
the North British" Westminster and
other reviews. The doctrine of evolution
began to be- brought forward and to take
oennlte form in these essays, the three
most Important of which are "Manners
and Fashion," 1S54, Progress, its Law
anu cause, (lo5V, and principles of
Psychology" QS55).
The classification of sciences accord
ing to abstractness, in opposition to
Comte's arrangement according to gener-
atty, was first advanced by Spencer in
1904, In an essay on the Classification of
the Sciences" which he had been several
years In perfecting. Spencer is chiefly
deductive or speculative in his philoso-
ply, beginning not with observation and
rising to general truths, but, starting with
certain supposed ultimate truths, and
from them deducing all others, which he
lustifies by his ability to explain from the
standpoint taken, so that they coincide
with certain known facts. He has &C.
complished what few have been able to,
that is, an attempt to give Systematic
account OF the universe in its entirety.
He has also founded an essentially new
school of thought and philosophy, whose
principles are endorsed by many of the
leading thinkers of the age.

in England and Ireland, and their opin-
ion thus far given supports Magistrate
O'DonnelrS finding, making it eX-
tremely improbable that the government
will proceed with its appeal from his
decision. The discussion of the case i'll

nell dismissed the case against Mr.. Sui
livan on the ground that
PROOF WAS WANTING
that the reports published were those
of branches that had been suppressed
by proclamation. The crown counsel
pointed to the fact that the decision inn
piled that the government. in the event
of subsequent charges of illegal publ
cation. must prove that the meetings
whose proceedings were published were
really meetings of suppressed branches
of the league. and that the persons
present at such meetings were
really members of those branches
This construction, he contended,
was tantamount to permanently
disabling the prosecution. unless
the charges could be supported
by the admissions of incriminated par
ties, and further than this it would be
impossible under such interpretation of
the act to obtain the evidence required
to convict. The position, therefore, is
that if the decision of the court holds
good, not only will press prosecutions
be futile, but the government will have
GREAT DIFFICULTY
in proving even that meetings of sup

at the exhibition of Impotence and stu
pidity of the Dublin executive, and
the feeling of evaporation is
mingled with strong suspicion
of treachery on the part of
some of the hostile officials. The tone
of the Conservative press throughout
England and Ireland plainly shows the
evaporation of the party. The London
papers charge the crown lawyers with
having placed the Irish executive in
position of humiliation and impotence,
and demand their instant retirement
from Office. The Irish Loyalist press

In the practice of skiliful physician

catarrh mentioned. In many eases the
patients have pains about the chest and
sides, and sometimes in the back.
They feel dull and sleepy: the mouth
has bad taste, especially in the morn

about the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is feeling like heavy load on
the stomach, sometimes faint, all-gone
sensation at the pit of the stomach,

Want Work OR Bread

LONDON, Oct. s.-Two hundred of the
poor, homeless, unemployed persons
who sleep at night in Trafalgar square
to-day paraded in body throughout
the principal streets in the West End.
They carrier black banner bearing in
white letters the inscription, 1--WE will
have work or bread" A large force of
police, mounted and on foot, accom-
panied the procession, which eventually
returned to Trafalgar square and with
the followers attracted held meeting.
The orators who addressed the assem-
blage described the hardship of the lot
of those whose only resting place in
London at night was in public square,
and declared that the only means they
had of drawing the attention of the pub
lie to their condition was by such dem
constructions as they had just made.
The meeting adopted a resolution to re-
assemble in the same place next Mon
day, and to continue to parade daily
until relief was afforded.

Making Buttons Out of Blood.

Philadelphia Bulletin
The country is learning to utilize
waste. Making buttons of blood is in
this direction. There is large factory
in Bridgeport, near Chicago, employing
about 100 men, boys and girls, in which
waste animal blood is converted into
buttons. The same firm has another
large factory elsewhere. A man named
HirSch was the first to introduce the
business in this country some years ago.
He lost &c., 900 the first six months, but
stuck to it, and now he is immensely
wealthy. There are number of SINH
lar factories in England. From 5000 to
10000 gallons of blood are used in
the Bridgeport factory every day. Moth
ing but fresh beef blood is used.
Considerable of the blood evapOrates
during the process of drying, but what
remains is pure albumen. Some of it is
light in color and some dark, according
to the chemical treatment given it.
These thin sheets Of dried blood are
then broken up, and are ready to be
worked into various shapes and sizes.
Large quantities of the blood sheets are
used by cloth manufacturers for ''Set-
ting" the color in calico goods. Not
only are buttons made from blood in
this way, but tons of ear rings, breast
pins, belt clasps, combs and trinkets are
made annually there from blood. 1t is a
queer, oderiferOus business, but a pay
ing one.

divided accordingly as they are peasant
or toWnspeOple into two classes. The
country people or land owners are Con-
servatives and Catholics. In the for
mer of these two capacities they are
content with the Republican or with
any other government that will not dis
turb their rights of property. AS CathO-
lies, however, they dislike the extreme
Radicals whose ''raiSOn d'etre" often
seems to be merely to asSail the clerical
party. The artisans of the large towns
on the other hand are mainly radical Re-

princes who remain in France appre-

prepared to follow the Comte de Paris
to England. The next expulsion will
include the Due de MemourS, the Due
de Tourville and the Due d'Alencon.
The cOnfiscation of the Orleans proper
ties i'll France has also to a large extent
been provided against. The Orleans
family now hold in British conSOlS and
American government securities to i'm
menSe amounts. All of the princes
above named are wealthy, and the for
tunes of the leading members of the
house aggregate a colossal sum. The
Bonapartes expelled will be the two sons
of Prince Napoleon-Prince Murat and
Prince Roland BOnaparte. Only the
latter, who obtained large fortune by
marrying the daughter of Nj. Blanc, the
keeper of the Casino at Monaco, can be
called wealthy. Prince Murat is abso-
lutely poor, and the Princes Victor and
Louis Napoleon are depending upon
their allowances from their relatives or
from the Empress Eugene, who regu-
larry assists Prince Victor.

The charm of sympathetic speech,
The bond of unachieved romances

Like some of Euclid's lighter fancies.
And when two kindly eynics meet
Who know too we'll the world is hollow,
Yet wish to find the surface sweet,
A pretty play is sure to follow.
